Man using computer\u003cbr/\u003eElectronics sales rebounded in the just-ended US holiday season, but the industry''s biggest event will still have the recession hanging over it. \u003cbr/\u003eThe International Consumer Electronics Show is smaller than usual, with key products unveiled at prices that are far from extravagant.\u003cbr/\u003eEver-present: 3D technology. \u003cbr/\u003eManufacturers are using the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to show the devices they hope will keep consumers opening their wallets, despite the economy. \u003cbr/\u003eTVs with 3-D displays, svelte laptops and e-book readers are the hottest gadgets.\u003cbr/\u003eGary Shapiro, CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association, says the recession has sparked creativity. \u003cbr/\u003e\"The recession forced companies to innovate or to die and that''s been the byword here to come up with something new or you''re just one of many, and a lot of companies have come up with something new.\"\u003cbr/\u003eIn the just-ended shopping season, revenue from electronics sales in the U.S. between Nov. 1 and Dec. 24 rose 5.9 percent from the same period of 2008, according to an estimate by MasterCard Advisors'' SpendingPulse, which tracks all forms of payment, including cash. \u003cbr/\u003eFor TV makers, CES is the opportunity to demonstrate sets that will hit stores by summer, and to preview technologies that will be available next holiday season.\u003cbr/\u003eThe challenge for manufacturers is to keep flat panels hot. \u003cbr/\u003eScott Steinberg, an analyst with the Web site digitaltrends.com says manufacturers will be rolling out 3-D TV sets later in the year, and that will be a major topic at CES.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Everyone''s talking about 3-D technology at CES this year, you''re going to see high-definition television channels in 3-D, they finalised a blue-ray 3-D standard, so you''re going to have movies and TV shows, a lot of networks launching courtesy of ESPN and Discovery and whatnot, whether or not this is going to be affordable in 2010 or truly accessible given that you have to wear those clunky glasses I''m not so sure about but definitely 3-D is all the rage.\"\u003cbr/\u003eBulky rear-projection sets with 3-D capabilities have been available for a few years, but now flat panels will get the 3-D treatment, and there finally will be a way for consumers to bring 3-D movies into the home. \u003cbr/\u003eIn December, the industry group behind the Blu-ray disc format said it had united on a standard for a 3-D version of the disc, and players are expected to be available this year. (You would still need special glasses.)\u003cbr/\u003eIn keeping with the times, 3-D TVs won''t be much more expensive than today''s high-end sets. \u003cbr/\u003eThe difference between 3-D sets and comparable 2-D TVs is likely to be less than $200. \u003cbr/\u003eA 3-D capable Blu-ray player, however, would then add a few hundred dollars to the setup.\u003cbr/\u003eBut with the demise of large computer trade shows in the U.S., CES is now the main venue not just for audio and video giants like Panasonic Corp., but also such pillars of the computing world as Hewlett-Packard Co., Dell Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc. Microsoft Corp. \u003cbr/\u003eMissing from the show, as usual, will be one of the biggest trendsetters in electronics: Apple Inc., which reveals its products at its own events.\u003cbr/\u003eLaptops have also continued to sell well during the recession, though some of the most popular ones have been small \"netbooks\" that cost about $300.\u003cbr/\u003eAt CES, there will be plenty of slightly larger laptops featuring new, power-thrifty chips and higher prices. \u003cbr/\u003eComputer makers hope that consumers who have an appreciation for light laptops to netbooks will want to pay a few hundred dollars more for a bigger screen and keyboard, and better video-playing performance.\u003cbr/\u003eSteinberg says that portable gadgets are set to be one of the year''s top electronics trends. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Slim, mobile, versatile, these are the watch words in technology this year we''re seeing a lot of portable gadgets smart phones netbooks these tablet Pc''s like the one Apple is rumoured to be working on that we''re going to hear more about at the end of January so this time it''s all about value and convenience, gadgets that work for you, not necessarily the priciest flashiest items but a lot of cool stuff out there that''s going to be great for folks on the go.\"\u003cbr/\u003eFor the first time, e-book readers have their own section of the show floor, with 23 exhibitors hoping to follow Amazon.com Inc.''s Kindle to the cusp of the mainstream. \u003cbr/\u003eWith a strong new product category like e-book readers and a gee-whiz feature like 3-D for the home, coupled with an economic recovery, the show promises to be brighter than last year, if not larger.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Consumer Electronics Association expects 2,500 exhibitors and 110,000 attendees, roughly the same as last year, but still down considerably from 2007, when 144,000 people came.\u003cbr/\u003eThe CES runs Jan 7-10, 2010.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
